So I will try and be more frequent which shouldn´t be that hard as I haven´t posted anything since last April.<br />
Here are a few photos from a shoot stylist Gisela Larsson Montan did for Antikvärlden and that was published during the autumn. Gisela is superb at composing close-ups where even the smallest item is a strong element in the photograph.<br />
Photographer was the brilliant Ingalill Snitt.<br />

It shows my tea urn (barely..) and a lovely very very thin japanese tea cup that is also mine and what I think is a hand coloured print, it can also be an original watercolour and I strongly suspect it comes from my very charming neighbour Hammarlund Books.<br />
In the end I think they chose the bottom picture for the publication but I like them both just as much and I am intrigued by that ship thing in the background.<br />
The tea urn you can see better <a href="http://sofieodmann.blogspot.se/2011/03/new-treasures-in-shop.html">here </a>.<br />
I´ll be back sooner than later..<br />

Here in Stockholm Spring is very slow in coming so I helped it along with this simple arrangement of white pansys in a large beautiful cream ware punch bowl from Rörstrand. It´s from the serie´s Svart Sverige (Black Sweden- a dramatic name no?) and the motive on the bowl is from Tullgarn Castle.<br />
Good.

For some reason the photos in this post have been cropped, don´t ask me why..(or give nice advice)<br />
I have used my Iphone and that camera really is no good-maybe that system doesn´t match the blog´s.

This super charming table is one of our latest additions. And it´s so small it will fit in anywhere, really.<br />
The table is a gustavian corner piece from ca 1780 and it has a marble imitation top that may be original and white and gold paint that is early 20th century. I´ve actually refrained from scraping it as I think it´s great as it is. And you never know how it will end up otherwise...<br />
If you have any questions about the other items, in the photo, just let me know.<br />
Soon I will show you a baroque wall cabinet with old grey paint and a rarity indeed- a late 18th century chest of drawers in original paint. And not red but bluish grey, one never sees that anymore!!Right now I´m deciding if I want to keep it for myself or sell it. As I haven´t seen one in years it´s not an easy decision!<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is a peak at the baroque cabinet: <br />

..without any new posts but we have had a lot of press during this time of recuperation.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
You
may have seen us in Sköna Hem where our stool was on the cover (yes I

The first one was styled by Inger Wachtmeister and I think it was shot by Anna Kern. To the right is a fantastic rococo desk and to the left one of a pair of ladies working tables. </span></div>

We are now sharing both the shop and our stall at the fair.<br />We were asked to participate in a newscast on TV4 sending live from the fair yesterday morning. The theme was "Provenance" so we decided to talk about my cabinets with provenance from Forsby Herrgård.<br />As I participated in a similar newscast 2 years ago we thought it was time for Mats to go through same ordeal...<br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /><a href="http://www.tv4play.se/nyheter_och_debatt/nyhetsmorgon?title=ritva_ronnberg_pa_antikmassan&videoid=1227357&utm_medium=sharing&utm_source=permalink&utm_campaign=tv4play.se">Take a look</a></span><br /><br />At the time of the shoot we were far from ready with loads of work to do. We finally finished about 15 minutes before the opening.

Then comes a ladies mirror with original paint and underneath are my favorite pair of 18th century slippers and a handpainted tole tray with a motive from the Bay of Naples.<br />To the right is an armchair with carvings like nothing I have ever seen before, also in original paint, of course and on the seat are a pair of exquisite parisian coffee cups and to the far right a gorgeous Gustavian canopy (I think it´s called?)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4xSxWs39OHdIZY0iN7p5nROmd-EhyphenhyphenwDRzLzZHseqVpxvU4xlLvsyfC58t9MkDb9ohGM7KoKluH4paOKM-qXCQqqPcRs7u3Kvh5TQwlLOU0Q44YLR1tOp5VPmye2vWUbFwQ1xcne4pfcU/s1600/DSCF5280.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 364px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4xSxWs39OHdIZY0iN7p5nROmd-EhyphenhyphenwDRzLzZHseqVpxvU4xlLvsyfC58t9MkDb9ohGM7KoKluH4paOKM-qXCQqqPcRs7u3Kvh5TQwlLOU0Q44YLR1tOp5VPmye2vWUbFwQ1xcne4pfcU/s400/DSCF5280.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527816372636654210" border="0" /></a>This little mirror you have seen before but it is so photogenic that I use it all the time in different still lifes!

If I kept it I would use it for firewood or even better- for lots of blankets to bring out for the long after dinner sittings we often have on chilly Swedish summer evenings..<br />I have also seen one like it filled with orchids in the middle of a table. <a href="http://www.1st-option.net/img_popup.php?img=2&pk=5259&pages=stills_locations.html&&cat=individual&cattitle=sea">See it here</a> or from <a href="http://www.1st-option.net/img_popup.php?img=3&pages=stills_locations.html&pk=5259&cat=individual&cattitle=search%20results">another</a> <a href="http://www.1st-option.net/img_popup.php?img=3&pages=stills_locations.html&pk=5259&cat=individual&cattitle=search%20results">angle</a>.<br />In the background you can see a part of an amazing wall panel that was once part of a rococo house in Västervik. Sadly the house was torn down in the seventies but fortunately the panel was rescued by a collector and when his estate was sold I was fortunate enough to buy it.

You will see it in some of the following photos as it works so well with the other things I bought.<br />In this shot is also a french apothecary´s bottle with hand painted text in white and red reading " chloramine" and a black wooden cabaret-style bowl with small compartments that is unlike anything I´ve ever seen.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk2ZTY6qx0UtXIxdEboE2OXc_qkSCRRbz2pk1MPYoRwO0RJ6WCk54U9mu7oYc1hqDjxDt4wAuX3QBbIQAXbYbn0o2ZLAhD3LCtFjBAJa38jPsx6JSlnlQnELweW4qg4-DM1lOwWY3xCvw/s1600/%C3%B6verstycke.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk2ZTY6qx0UtXIxdEboE2OXc_qkSCRRbz2pk1MPYoRwO0RJ6WCk54U9mu7oYc1hqDjxDt4wAuX3QBbIQAXbYbn0o2ZLAhD3LCtFjBAJa38jPsx6JSlnlQnELweW4qg4-DM1lOwWY3xCvw/s400/%C3%B6verstycke.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476751582731991538" border="0" /></a>Here´s my demi lune with original paint and on top is a wonderfully carved fragment from a sofa.

These are not easy to find these days when most demi lunes have been heavily patinated...<br />And on top is a very charming box from Västergötland with decorations of a wreath and a very unusual provincial version of the Swedish Shield, two different sets of 19th century glasses and a carafe of turbine model.<br />Under the table are a group of botanicals where the flowers are not taped to the paper which usually is the case but carefully stiched in place!<br /><br />At the other end in front of a pale blue baroque door is a gorgeous armchair in white original paint with the most fantastic carvings. I have never seen anything similar to this. A personal favorite indeed! Placed on the seat are two silver saltines from the rococo period. They are dated 1750 and 1752 and are made in London. So graceful.<br />This month we are also featured in Gods och Gårdar so I placed the magazine in the chair as well, the photos in the article are beautiful. Unfortunately it´s not possible to link to the magazine, they really need to update their website...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAdrdQKm0OeIDLguJjXLuE5qhQe2ES9wRYFRm35QBGgl7w2jVwOzM25O5yl_eKpvWQbenO5kQ3tRZBndFAy7fpmA_CCsM8Xdnp9n1AvPwT2AFNZJ0mMDexedf-JacAqnJ8yP_OsqGiOA8/s1600/glas+och+skrin.jpg"><span><span></span></span></a>sofiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16623838029963391295noreply@blogger.com0
